Paulo Fonseca

People drooling over him, he's done well in Ukraine, one of six jobs he's had in the past seven years. He did pretty poorly with Porto, and yes he's doing well with Shakhtar but that league can't possibly have an open title race every season like ours. Concerning to say the least that he's a lot of people's number one choice.

We will really regret not signing Wenger for at least a year or so, but we need a long term option as well. Do not envy Mr Moshiri, for sure.

100% this, I dont rate him highly enough to think its good times ahead any more than I do with Alladyce or Silva.
 
We had an open title race this year?!
My point being that it would not be worth betting a lot of money that City would win the title at the beginning of the season, unlike in Ukraine where you would have to go back 28 years to find someone other than Dynamo Kyiv or Shakhtar Donetsk who have won the title.
 

Wait, are you saying Silva / Fonseca / FSA are of the same ilk?

REALLY not trying to put words in to your mouth, it's just that it read a bit weird.

Not in playing style but all 3 dont scream to me that we will be guaranteed 7th place finishes and successful cup runs as one is a dinosaur, the other cant defend and Fonesca is totally an unknown. He may well be a success and I'll get behind him if he comes in however I'll be cautious come the start of next season rather than going into it expecting to win the majority of games like I would knowing a Wenger/Emery were in the dug out.
 
In the good old days you'd have a very good idea of the capabilities of all the managers being considered for a managerial post. Today it's a lottery. The ones you know quite well are typically British but never been in charge of a club of any size and history like Everton, so it's a gamble if you take them on. The foreign candidates that have a genuine record are unlikely to come here and those that don't are an almighty risk.

The little bit here about the senior players at the end

Senior players in the dressing room are convinced the club will make a change and believe that Silva is now more likely than Fonseca.

"I've done all I can": Sam Allardyce accepts he faces Everton sack as Wayne Rooney transfer saga turns farcical

Manager unpopular with fans despite steering the Blues clear of relegation to meet owner Farhad Moshiri next week, while MLS-linked star he swore was fit left the training ground minutes later and will not play in Sunday's season final



Sam Allardyce has admitted for the first time that he fears for his Everton future.

The Blues' boss meets owner Farhad Moshiri next week for talks about his position, with fans clamouring for his departure. Everton have already made enquiries about the availability of ex-Hull and Watford boss Marco Silva and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Paulo Fonseca.

Allardyce’s position will have direct implications for Wayne Rooney’s future at the club. On a day of farce, the former England skipper was left out for Everton’s final game of the season at West Ham on Sunday because of a knee injury... soon after being declared fully fit by Allardyce.

With Rooney given permission to speak to Major League Soccer's DC United by Moshiri, Allardyce confirmed on Friday morning that he would speak to the player at the training ground “to see where the situation lies”.

The manager also insisted: “He’s fit and in training, yes. You’ll find out if he is playing on Sunday,” he said. But just an hour later, Rooney was heading out of the Finch Farm complex following his scheduled meeting, just as the other players began training.

A hastily-prepared statement suggested the forward had a ‘very slight knee injury’ and so would not be risked at the London Stadium — even though his next game in anger, if he stays, won't be until August. It is the latest embarrassment in what is becoming an increasingly laughable situation at a club which seems to lack leadership since Moshiri took control from chairman Bill Kenwright.

Allardyce admitted that when he meets Moshiri: “We’ve got things to sort out, yes. At end of day, we are where we are. “I can’t speculate or predict what Farhad is thinking or isn’t thinking, I’ll only find out when I see him. I’ve done all I can do. That’s what I’ll say to him. I can’t do any more than that. “There will be some meeting somewhere along the line next week.

“It depends what part of the world he’s in — he’s a busy man, runs billions-and-billions of pounds companies. So I’ll drop into his schedule, and meet him where I can, if that’s what he wishes.” Moshiri is under increasing pressure to bring in a new manager because of a threat of a fans’ boycott. An estimated 35,000 people walked out of Goodison last weekend before a planned players’ lap of appreciation after the final home game of the campaign.

If protests like that persist into next season, it would rock the club’s precarious finances. Silva was Everton’s original target before appointing Allardyce, and he is available. Senior players in the dressing room are convinced the club will make a change and believe that Silva is now more likely than Fonseca.

If either was appointed, then Rooney would wait to see if he figured in their plans, before deciding on his proposed move to DC United.
 
From Portugal: Fonseca leaves Everton behind, ‘should commit to West Ham soon’

Portuguese newspaper A Bola has some interesting and strong claims about West Ham United and Paulo Fonseca this Saturday.

It starts with their headline saying the Hammers have made an approach for the manager, who they believe should be leaving Shakhtar Donetsk this summer.

That makes it sound like just another transfer rumour, with things still in the early stages, with maybe the negotiations developing during the summer.

But the rest of the story completely goes for it, saying that Fonseca should soon take charge of the London side.

Shakhtar have offered the manager a new salary worth €9m per season, while Everton also contacted him, but he ‘should commit to West Ham soon’, to use the newspaper’s own words.

It’s weird to see this excitement because A Bola literally says that West Ham have only gone as far as an approach. So maybe the manager was really, really excited with this contact, because the optimism seems quite big.

Fonseca has been repeatedly linked with Everton as an option to replace Sam Allardyce, and was also reportedly of interest to the Goodison Park club before they appointed their current manager.

Claims of West Ham interest in Manuel Pellegrini have come from both Chile and Spain recently, so perhaps the club aren’t entirely satisfied with David Moyes.

Hope this happens. Think GOT would go nuclear and end up a Pripyat like wasteland
